This will stress your cores to 100% and give error warnings to let you know that even if your cpu did not "fail" (ie... shut down) it still is not performing as well as it should (making very slight miscalculations due to the stress/OC). Your way will not give any "quality" testing... only run/not run and will not work with dual cpu's. So.... your way is pretty useless if you ACTUALLY want to stress test your CPU/CPU's.

If I really wanted to test the reliability of my CPU fan or water cooling system ... The funny thing is that I actually did buy an older bargain water-cooling system from my friend 2 days ago and I really did use this script to test its reliability and capability of cooling my CPU enough :D … If I really wanted to test the reliability of my CPU fan or water cooling system …
